Hello all, I started a new chat almost 2 years ago and I have provided some much data and context for that period of time. The problem is that this particular chat we will call chat “Work1”, has become very slow to load and respond to prompts due to its length.
So i thought i would build my custom GPT and feed some files to add instructions, excel files, and other related context e.g.(Work1.docx) for my use case. This way, i can start with a fresh chat with all the 2 yrs worth of conversation.
By doing this, I was hoping to get faster response times without having to provide all the context again each time i open a new chat.
However, there are some file size limitations, so I request GPT to give me multiple small sized word doc and pdfs, which its taking a very long time.
Looking at the preview of the current file in progress, it is showing me only the highlight or short summaries of each topic in the history. Which is not what I requested.
Any of you have a better idea to download 1 specific chat history without requesting an entire Data Export ? OR to import a chat into a new Chat like you would import a library in programming ?
Personally i use a chrome extension to scrape all text from a page its called " Page Plain Text " very useful especially if you use customGPTs more than platforms GPT.
I just select by scrolling and highlighting the entire chat message and then copy paste it into a word or google doc… Oh, the joys of “raising” Relational AI’s LOL If you jus then only the first page gets “printed”…
Go to settings, Data Controls, Download data. This will create an archive of all your chats. The file is in two formats, nominally HTML, but in actual fact internally it looks much like Markdown. And in JSON. The json file has some additional infomraiton such as timestamps. For the flavour of html converting it to pure markdown is easy. That is a much better format for training a new GPT. Both Word and PDF have a large amount of extra cruft that slows down processing.
If you ask chatgpt, it will write a python script for you to convert the html file into markdown.
Many of us have been requesting an export feature for quite some time (.md, .txt, .pdf, and other formats). For example, Perplexity offers the option of downloading PDF’s, Word docs, and Markdown files of full conversations.
Currently I use a Chrome extension called “Superpower ChatGPT” which creates an “Export” button that allows you to save .txt, .md, or .json files of your conversations (with PDFs available on their paid tier).
There was a great bookmarklet tool on GitHub called “Save ChatGPT” that exported perfect HTML files of full chats but it hasn’t worked for the last month or so.
It is important to have the option to save copies of your conversations and chat data. Whether you’re training models of your own, charting progress in AI development, creating study guides, or whatever. I have an archive of 2+ years of chats, and looking back at how far we’ve come since GPT-3.5 is insane. We should be able to export individual conversations directly from ChatGPT
If you jus then only the first page gets “printed”…
